A third person has been arrested in connection with the murder of Elle Edwards who was killed in a shooting outside a pub on Christmas Eve, police have confirmed. The 26-year-old beautician was caught in crossfire when she was shot in the head during a night out at the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey on December 24.
Officers believe that Elle was not the intended target of the heinous attack after four other men were also shot and left injured following the incident, the Liverpool Echo reports. None of those victims are in a critical condition but a 28-year-old male from Beechwood is continuing to receive medical care.
Police have now arrested a third suspect, a 31-year-old man from Tranmere on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. He is currently in custody along side another male and one female suspect and will be questioned by detectives.
